Qigong - Healing Exercise

Boss ber-Qigong The word Qigong (Chi Kung) is made up of two Chinese words. Qigong is a Chinese exercise for health. From what we have read, the exercise increases energy, reduce stress, restore vitality and regain flexibility. It is a healing arts. I didn´t know about Qigong before, but its all started in October last year when Joachim (Mr hubby) attended a 3 days Self Development Seminar somewhere in Germany. The Seminar instructor introduced them this health exercise. Joachim shared with me, a few times during the Seminar they´re taught to do a few simple (for beginners) Qigong movements. He said in the beginning its difficult to follow the movement but somehow he started to enjoy it, he said the exercise really make him feel good after that. After the seminar, he has been doing Qigong at home without fail, sometimes he is doing it twice a day, pagi and malam. Sometimes I am amazed with his spirit and courage to get up early morning to do Qigong. Kalau macam sia yg pemalas ni tidur lagi bagus kekeke...Before he was doing the movements by watching DVDs, by listening to CDs and also by readings Qigong books. Two months ago he enrolled himself to Qigong Class in town. The Health Insurance contributing 80% of the payment which is great and encouraging. He said doing Qigong is an amazing experience...entahlah I haven´t tried it yet. He is actually suffering from back pain which always goes up to his neck and head due to the stress at work, so whenever he had pain he always take pain killers like aspirin or paracetemol to reduce the pain. Since he has been doing Qigong daily, touch wood! he seldom has the pain!. Kalau ada pun not as bad as before dia bilang. So why take drugs when you can exercise your way to health, right? His progress has been helped by this health exercise. We know that pain affects every part of our lives, work, socializing, relationships...hubby said he faced both exciting and stressful life changes. Do you know one more thing? Recently he confessed, he can smell better than before...dulu walau macamana wangi masakan sia pun dia tida boleh cium (ceh! puji diri sikit haha..well wangi tida bererti sedap haha). But, amazing juga kan? Macam sia pun susah mau picaya. So got to try it lah. He shared that he gets up in the morning with more energy since doing Qigong (how I wish I can feel it too). He has been trying to urge me to try this wonderful healing art...join the class too and do Qigong at home regularly, well I would like to consider it, tapi sia ni ada penyakit malas bah, but maybe it will change my life too, who knows hehe. But to be honest I am not very patient in doing such slow movements, nanti tertidur pula masa buat Qigong keke. I rather use my stationary bicycle at home or join fitness centre if I really want to do my exercise, but after what hubby has shared to me about his Qigong experience, I might considering this...but I´ve never started ceh!. I keep on postponing kekeke...bisuk, bisuk lusa..entah bila laini. Oh yah, all the time they´re doing Qigong indoors, but soon when the weather gets warmer they´ll do it outdoor, in the park, that would be nice to see..they said Qigong it much better be done under trees...good chi flow mangkali. Is it? eh macam Feng Shui pula haha...No wonder I saw some Chinese people doing Tai Chi di botanical garden dulu...rupanya!. “If you want to be healthy and live to 100, do QiGong.” So why not try Qigong?
